Hi all. Looking for some inspirational ideas. Neil and Amanda Dean and I are considering organising a Sportive in Barry Trotter's memory along similar lines to the Big G. It would be a stand alone event and the date is provisionally set as 7th or 8th of July 2018. We will be using Bishop Burton as HQ but using new routes.
As many of you will know Barry was a lifelong member of Hull Thursday Road Club and put a tremendous amount of time, effort and commitment into the clubs activities over many years. This culminated in him organising the East Yorkshire Classic Road Race in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
We hope the event would be just as successful as the Big G which was a fitting tribute to another great Hull Thursday member who is also sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Help is needed for suggestions for a name for the event.
Please feel free to post your suggestions here. We look forward to reading your suggestions.
Many thanks
Paul
